Last summer, Earth, Wind & Fire, the seventh top-selling American musical group of all time, was one of the few acts to sell out Cain Park in Cleveland Heights. Now, the classic soul/R&B band, a Rock Hall inductee that features founding members Philip Bailey, Verdine White and Ralph Johnson, is set to return to Northeast Ohio. It plays Hard Rock Live at Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park on May 26. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday at livenation.com.
